VICHY (Oct. 6)

The Paris press today advises the Moslem population in Morocco that France will help them “drive the Jews out of their country.” An article in the Paris paper Appeal, declares that Moroccans must be made to understand that their only enemy is the Jews.

“If they want a ‘holy war’ France will supply them with the opportunity in making them drive out the Morocco Jews who exploit and rob the country,” the Appeal writes.
